    4. Building with legacy Makefiles (deprecated)

    - -

    -The legacy Mesa build system is based on a collection of pre-defined -system configurations. -Some of these might work for older systems not supported by autoconf. -

    -

    -To see the list of configurations, just type make. -Then choose a configuration from the list and type make -configname. -

    - -

    -Mesa may be built in several different ways using the predefined configurations: -

    -
      -
    • Stand-alone/Xlib mode - Mesa will be compiled as -a software renderer using Xlib to do all rendering. -The libGL.so library will be a self-contained rendering library that will -allow you to run OpenGL/GLX applications on any X server (regardless of -whether it supports the GLX X server extension). -You will not be able to use hardware 3D acceleration. -

      -To compile stand-alone Mesa type make in the top-level directory. -You'll see a list of supported system configurations. -Choose one from the list (such as linux-x86), and type: -

      -
      -    make linux-x86
-
      -

      This will produce libGL.so and several other libraries

      -
      • - -
    • DRI/accelerated - The DRI hardware drivers for -accelerated OpenGL rendering (for ATI, Intel, Matrox, etc) will be built. -The libGL.so library will support the GLX extension and will load/use -the DRI hardware drivers. - - -

      -
      -   make linux-dri
-
      -

      -There are also linux-dri-x86, linux-dri-x86-64, -and linux-ppc configurations which are optimized for those -architectures. -

      -

      -Make sure you have the prerequisite versions of DRM and Xserver mentioned -above. -

      - -

    -Later, if you want to rebuild for a different configuration run -make realclean before rebuilding. -

    Installing the header and library files

    - -

    -The standard location for the OpenGL header files on Unix-type systems is -in /usr/include/GL/. -The standard location for the libraries is /usr/lib/. -For more information see, the - -Linux/OpenGL ABI specification. -

    - -

    -If you'd like Mesa to co-exist with another implementation of OpenGL that's -already installed, you'll have to choose different directories, like -/usr/local/include/GL/ and /usr/local/lib/. -

    - -

    -To install Mesa's headers and libraries, run make install. -But first, check the Mesa/configs/default file and examine the values -of the INSTALL_DIR and DRI_DRIVER_INSTALL_DIR variables. -Change them if needed, then run make install. -

    - -

    -The variable -DESTDIR may also be used to install the contents to a temporary -staging directory. -This can be useful for package management. -For example: make install DESTDIR=/somepath/ -

    - -

    -Note: at runtime you can use the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable -(on Linux at least) to switch -between the Mesa libraries and other vendor's libraries whenever you want. -This is a handy way to compare multiple OpenGL implementations. -
